Multiple Switches

Systems with more than 5 SeaTalkhs devices require more than one network switch. Network switches can be connected together ("daisy-chaining") for this purpose.

The network switch provides a dedicated high-speed (1000 Mbit/S) port for connecting switches together while still retaining full data bandwidth throughout the system.

Each switch only has one high-speed port (port 5), so you can only connect up to 2 switches using the high-speed (1000 Mbit/S) connection. Any additional network switches must be connected together using a standard speed (100 Mbit/S) port.

Note: The maximum number of SeaTalkhs devices that can be connected in any single system is 25.
